The White Woods and the Demon Hunters

At the moment, I am reading two books (yes, I know, shame on me and all that), one of which is Sherlock Holmes, the other is Narnia.


I love Narnia. Well, I loved the movies, but I had only read the Magician's Nephew which didn't really speak to me. Then I went to the library with a friend and she told me to take out The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. I love it.

I love the way I can see it all in my head, the way that I can see the woods and Mr. Tumnus' cave and the Beavers' dam. I love that it's set in winter because, in my opinion, most fairy tales should take place with white snow and icicles. Even if the snow is the curse of an evil witch queen.


I'm not done yet, because I only ever read it before going to bed, one chapter a day. Sherlock is my day read but I like me a good fairy tale before going to sleep. It makes me feel little again, you know?

Also, it's a good way to counter-balance the freakiness of the new show I've been watching on Netflix, Supernatural. Basically, two siblings, Sam and Dean, go around the country killing demons and creatures of evil. It's awesome but scary, which leaves me very conflicted and afraid of the dark. I highly recommend it (if you're not too squeamish, it is a bit gory).

In other news, today is my last day of school! I have finished the first round of high school, only three left to go.
